Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:

    “The whole effort of a sincere man is to erect his personal impressions into laws.”
    —Rémy De Gourmont (1858–1915)

    “Consider his life which was valueless
    In terms of employment, hotel ledgers, news files.
    Consider. One bullet in ten thousand kills a man.
    Ask. Was so much expenditure justified
    On the death of one so young and so silly
    Lying under the olive tree, O world, O death?”
    —Stephen Spender (1909–1995)
